2018 AUSTRALIAN OPEN Tomas Berdych lost to Roger Federer ATP NEWS | MATCH REPORT Wednesday, January 14, 2018 --- Tomas Berdych held two set points in the first set of his quarter-final loss to Roger Federer at the Australian Open --- Two-time semi-finalist held two set points for a one-set lead versus Federer Tomas Berdych's search for a first Grand Slam title goes on after losing to Roger Federer for the third consecutive year at the Australian Open. The two-time semi-finalist at Melbourne Park looked in great form as he led the 19-time major championship winner 5-2 in the first set, twice holding set point, but could not convert as he watched his lead, and grip on the match, slip away. Shorty after the match, the Czech No. 1 revealed his thoughts on a critical first set and the affect it had on the result. ''It was a good start,'' said Berdych. ''I had good chances, a couple of set points. I think he just got more confident after he saved the first set. Then it was very difficult with him again. After having been basically a whole set down, it gives you a [big] boost [to come back]. Especially with him, I think it was just the deciding thing. Everything is 'if'. But winning a first set would be a completely different story.'' The long-time rivals were contesting a staggering 10th meeting at Grand Slam level, which is tied-fourth for most meetings at the four Grand Slam events. Only matches between Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have been more frequent at the Grand Slams in the Open Era. Now in his 17th year as a professional, with 13 tour-level titles to his name, Berdych has a plethora of experience playing against the biggest names on the grandest of stages. But, after facing Federer for the 26th time, the finalist at The 2010 Championships at Wimbledon had the simplest of explanations for his loss. ''I faced the best opponent that you can have,'' admitted Berdych. ''I played a good match, but I didn't play my best. When I played my best [in the past], I was able to beat him. That's what not happened today.'' Quick to put the disappointment of losing the match, after missing a great opportunity, in perspective, the 32-year-old described his emotions. ''It's not the best feeling. But there are still worse ones,'' said Berdych. ''That's how it is. I mean, one day you're winning, one day you're losing. It was the key of the match.'' After cutting his 2017 season short after the China Open in October due to back troubles, Berdych has a lot to be positive about moving forward in 2018. ''I'm not leaving with [my] head down. I think it was a very good tournament. After what I've been through at the end of the last season, I'm very pleased with that.'' The World No. 20 will rise in the next edition of the ATP Rankings, published on Monday.

2018 AUSTRALIAN OPEN Quarter-Final - TV CAPTURES (75) Tomas Berdych lost to Roger Federer 2018 AUSTRALIAN OPEN Tomas Berdych vs Roger Federer QF, Rod Laver Arena, 24 January 2018. Federer won 7-6(1), 6-3, 6-4. --- How The Australian Open Quarter-Final Was Won --- First Set --- Berdych started aggressively to win the first three games, and didn't put a foot wrong until the ninth game. But as the Czech served for the first set at 5-3, Federer appeared to be rattled, yet was subtly able to raise his game. The pressure began to tell and Berdych lost three of his first four service points, but recovered only to squander a set point chance. Federer broke on his fourth break point, then, when serving in the next game, made a subtle change of pace on a forehand at 30/40. Berdych's eyes lit up. Needing to generate pace, the Czech struck a backhand long and a second set point opportunity disappeared. Federer refocused in the tie-break to win the first three points and clinched the 60-minute opener with a sliced backhand drop shot winner. Overall, Federer lost just three of his first-service points (25/28) and hit 24 winners in the set. --- Second Set --- Berdych, contesting the 200th Grand Slam championship match of his career, gave himself an opportunity in the third game of the second set, when Federer was serving at 30/40. But the Swiss star, with improved court position, remained aggressive and ripped a backhand winner down the line. As the set wore on, Federer pounced, coming to the net to strike a backhand body shot at 4-3, with Berdych serving at 15/40. Federer soon calmly held to 15 to remain on course for his ninth straight victory over Berdych. --- Third Set --- The writing appeared to be on the wall for Berdych when a Hawk-Eye challenge on break point at 1-1, went Federer's way. Federer gave a wry smile as the big screen showed the ball had clipped the line by a small margin. But credit to Berdych, the 2014 and 2015 semi-finalist, when he broke back immediately with a return winner. Federer subsequently raised his game once more with a third successive service break, after a backhand winner. From that moment on, Federer lost only one point in his next three service games. He has yet to lose a set at this year's championship.

Fabio Fognini Monday, January 22, 2018 | Melbourne - Berdych breezes past Fognini --- Tomas Berdych is a serial Australian Open quarterfinalist who has now reached the last eight for the seventh time. This is the Grand Slam where the 32-year-old Czech has won more matches and gone further, more often, than any other. Monday's opponent was Fabio Fognini, and if nothing is ever strictly routine against the volcanic Italian, than a 6-1 6-4 6-4 result was about as close as it gets. ''He's a very tough opponent, you never know what's gonna come up,'' said Berdych after the two-and-a-bit hour match.''He can always come from the back with amazing shots and turn the match around, so being very focused from the start, that's the best thing I could (have) done today.'' Clearly relishing his return to Margaret Court Arena, where memories are fond, Berdych was enjoying the far more pleasant weather conditions than those endured late in week one. ''I'm feeling good, healthy, so I think I'm on the best baseline I can be.''
